Mitch Marner made his debut in London last night and put up a goal and an assist. Unfortunatley because of the depth on the roster JJ Piccinich sat out after putting up 4 points in his first two games with the Knights. Stephen Desrocher and Martins Dzierkals are off to good starts and Andreas Johnson continues to score well in the Swedish league.

Pierre Engvall is still playing in the minor division in Sweden but scored his first two professional league points.

He might be hurt, I know he was suffering through some stuff earlier. Would be weird for him to leave BU after they have their 2 best players leave only to go to another team whose line-up is too deep for him. I mean it's not like it was a surprise that London got Marner and Dvorak back.

Banged up a little but he's sitting because other guys have sat out and the defense is a bit of a mess right now. They are running with 7 defensemen right now trying to sort out who they can trust to play and where they need to make moves to shore up the blueline for a deep run.

They have a guy like Ryan Valentini playing Junior B right now who should probably be in the OHL at this point. Too much of a good thing in the forward ranks at this point with a lot of front end guys deserving of playing 20 minutes a night and guys are going to miss out on opportunities. Piccinich won't be a guy out of the lineup often but he's going to miss out on some opportunities and might not factor in on the PP depending on how Marner and Dvorak are used.

Mitch Marner with a pair of goals in London's 7-2 win over the Soo (sorry Potvin):

Those are in fact two different goals. Marner also added an assist on a J.J. Piccinich goal. Those two have been on a line with potential top-5 2016 pick Matthew Tkachuk. Failing a Matthews pick at 1st overall Tkachuk could definitely be a Leafs target come draft time.

Marner has 5 goals and 5 assists in 7 games. Piccinich has 6 goals and 5 assists in 11 games.

Nielsen and Desrocher are having standout seasons on defense so far this year. Johnson is continuing to put up good offensive numbers in the Swedish league. The College kids really haven't done much as of yet.
